Optimizing MAC Pro with FCP
by Nick Falangas on May 29, 2009 at 1:11:42 am

Hi I am currently in the market for a new computer setup for my production company and I am doing a lot of green screening... Right now I am editing on a Imac with 2.66 ghz and 4gigs of ram. I am editing with 108060i coming from my xh-a1. This is the computer I plan to purchase:

Refurbished Mac Pro 2.26GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon
Two 2.26GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon "Nehalem" processors
6GB (6x1GB) of 1066MHz DDR3 ECC memory
640GB Serial ATA 3Gb/s 7200 rpm
18x SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 with 512MB GDDR3 memory

Now I have been reading from others who have purchased a MAC PRO to edit on FCP that they are still having to wait a while for their files to render and that most of all that memory and processors are not even being used. Can anyone explain to me how much memory FCP is using and how I could optimize FCP using my future Mac Pro?
